It was a day that started with loads of potential.  source   Blue skies. Beauty. And things to do. source  Potential. source Sadly, my effort failed me late in the afternoon, and the day ended rather meh. Like, dinner at 9:30 pm kind of meh. source: etsy It turned out to be a  total hump day. Luckily, I think I am getting over the hump. I hope you had a wonderful hump day - did you have a big 'meh' hump to get over?

Technically, these finds are from yesterday, but since we got home so late, it is today's Friday Find. Usually interstate driving isn't very interesting. Just miles and miles of road, each interstate looking much like another you have most certainly been on for hours and hours. I find my eyes get tired of looking at the land, which starts to look like everywhere else you have been. So, I happened to notice the sky. The sky, so big, so vast.  I think I also noticed the sky more because everything around us was flat . When you live in the North Carolina mountains, and have to drive East to the other side of the state, you notice how flat the rest of the state is. I am so used to the mountains, when not in them, everything is so...well...flat. And I noticed that over this flat land there is a huge sky, full of beautiful colors and clouds. Especially when the sun is setting, and the whole word is this brilliant cool blue dusk. It could have been the 8 hours on the r...

"What I've found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany's.  It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there, not with those kind men in their nice suits..."    ~ Truman Capote , Breakfast at Tiffany's , 1958, spoken by the character Holly Golightly In honor of  Valentine's Day, may you find your love at the end of the movie, find that you have lots more in common than liking the movie, and have a wonderful breakfast. Wouldn't it be nice to also get that little something from Tiffany's ? And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'?" She said, "I think I remember the film,yes and as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it." And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got." ~ Deep Blue Something   Do you remember the movie? And did you kinda like it? This collection should trigger your memories of the m...

Boy did I get bitched at last night for how cold the house was.  Hubby blamed me for turning the heat down.  I didn't, (at least not to 60 degrees like he claims) but the wind was blowing right through the house. So when I asked him for an idea for a collection, the first thing he said was -  Jack Frost.  Voila - A Jack Frost Collection. Jack Frost   Curated By: RaigeCreations ArtFire.com Handmade Soap I had to ease back into the swing of things, being that for the past few days Raige was on a mini vacation. Just needed a couple days to re-boot.  What better way to start back into things than a Collection to Keep Me Busy ? We will get back to the regularly scheduled series next week. But for now, I will just keep my mind occupied with entertainment and busy with collections. What should the next theme be?? You name it, and I will make a collection. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I know it's early for the sleepy time show - but I have been busy today. The normal chores, laundry and such took up the morning. Then I took the kids on a hike on a great easy trail in the mountains. (more on that in the Walking on Wednesday Series). Here is a sneak peek of the beautiful scenery. Waterfall seen on the drive to the beginning of the trail We are all a bit tired, so we put on my sleepy time show early tonight. I have a couple shows that just knock me out, put me right to sleep. They are: any History Channel show, and  many Discovery Channels shows.  Hubby is already dozing off, and the boys are so relaxed it won't be long until they are snoring too. My daughter soon will be in the same boat, cuddled up here with me. Whale Shark What is the show that has us near comatose? Discovery Channel's Planet Earth bioluminescence It has beautiful images , soothing music , and Sigourney Weaver 's soft voice .  This is the ...

Happy Valentines Day to everyone! This is a two part Valentines Post A 'Bleautiful' Collection and 'Bleautiful' Song! Because I realize not everyone is a big fan of Valentines day, I am celebrating BLUE.   Some people may not be so fortunate to share the day with loved ones. Some of us may feel BLUE. Some of us may just be sick of RED. So for those of us who love blue, I offer some cheery blues in this 'Bleautiful' Collection by Fantasy Clay . (She has a fun shop too, that will brighten everybody's day!) You Can Sell It Blues Curated By: FantasyClay ArtFire.com Handmade Soap And don't worry, I didn't forget the MUSIC part of Music Monday.... it's (I'm) Blue (da ba dee) by Eifel 65 . A fun song, though titled Blue, gets you groovin' no matter what mood you're in. Not bad for a trio of Italians. Happy Valentines Day, no matter what color mood you are in! Have fun, and love and laugh!
